I added [ing] & [s]. - - - - - - - - - - > I want to know if the follow[ing] sentence need[s] a comma between candidate and meant: It has been reported that the Republican who suggested Eisenhower > as a presidential candidate (,)?)meant Milton not Ike. - - - - - - - - - - If I had only comma to use, I'd place it after 'Milton'. If your comma after candidate is engraved in stone, use a 2nd comma before 'who', to set off that clause. BTW, I think you might be an ESL student. Congratulatuons on struggling to learn about commas. Too many people insert them incorrectly, omit them, or tie sentences together, forming a comma splice. Juana,

I just stumbled across your query of July 7, ’09. I added [ing] & [s].

- – - – - – - – - -
> I want to know if the follow[ing] sentence need[s] a comma between candidate and meant:

It has been reported that the Republican who suggested Eisenhower > as a presidential candidate (,)?)meant Milton not Ike.
- – - – - – - – - -

If I had only comma to use, I’d place it after ‘Milton’. If your comma after candidate is engraved in stone, use a 2nd comma before ‘who’, to set off that clause.

BTW, I think you might be an ESL student. Congratulatuons on struggling to learn about commas. Too many people insert them incorrectly, omit them, or tie sentences together, forming a comma splice.

I can never master it, and I believe most experts will have differing views about it's usage.
